Good pictures.
Got a little bit more damage to report. My rear diff is now leaking. Probably have to change the gasket. Might as well order up some new covers at the same time. I like the ARB ones. I know their pricey but I like the look. I saw that you guys have solid, reasons? I also found a nice piece of mud that rode home with me. I thought it was part of a tree stump at first.
I was also able to get a tire mounted on that alloy, what a job but its well worth the $25 they charged me. I'd hate to get a flat and have nothing. Attachment 33431

And Seth, the only reason I have the SOLID diff cover is because I won them!!!
If I were to pay I would buy the Teraflex covers because they have a hole at the stock location... I HATE filling my diff's with these covers

Thanks for the info I will take it into consideration.
The good thing about no plug is that it will never blow out.
Nice picture of the flat. I tried to explain at the junk yard but they just thought I kept driving on the road on my flat.

Happy birthday Joe!
Didn't know people were taking pics. Nice shots. After looking at the pic where I had to winch, I realized the rock next to my driver rear tire was the same size as my tire...NICE. Wish you came to the playground afterwards, I completed a nice small section of rock garden, wanted that on video.
I like the Riddler covers as well, plus, less $$. If I'm not mistaken, Northridge has a front and rear Riddler covers with lube lockers for like $220.
One other thing broke on me, don't know how, but I managed to snap the bolt the driver side swaybar link, on the swaybar itself. Heard a clicking noise like something knocking around...there it was. Didn't feel a difference in handling...hrmm...should I remove entirely?
Usually, after the going through mud like we did, balancing is sometimes off. Clean out the mud from the tires and rims, should go away. That, or you possibly could have knocked out a wheel weight, happens, why I use stick on weights to the inside of the rim, not on the bead's edge. So now, I can't knock a weight off, at all.

Really? I can't appreciate if the JK looks good doing what it does when I'm not the one watching it, hah. Hence why I like seeing video or pics after doing something.
